Ahead of its debut at Sundance in just a few days’ time, the teaser trailer has landed for Listen Up Philip, giving an intriguing first look at the upcoming drama.

Jason Schwartzman leads a stellar ensemble as the eponymous Philip, an author waiting for the publication of his second novel.

Anger rages in Philip as he awaits the publication of his sure-to-succeed second novel. He feels pushed out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley, and his own indifference to promoting the novel. When Philip’s idol, Ike Zimmerman, offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject—himself.

Schwartzman is coming off the back of a brilliant performance in Saving Mr. Banks, and will soon be seen reuniting with frequent collaborator Wes Anderson in The Grand Budapest Hotel. And with Schwartzman also working once more with Listen Up Philip co-star Krysten Ritter on Tim Burton’s Big Eyes, things are definitely looking good for the actor this year.

Listen Up Philip will be making its debut to the world in Park City on January 20th, and it certainly looks like it’s one to watch if you’re at Sundance in the coming days.

Since graduating, I spend as much time as possible watching films/TV shows, reading books, and listening to music. So getting to write about what I love is nothing short of awesome.
